Are people becoming a little hypocritical when it comes to Usyk?

    Nope, he's not better than Wallin. Wallin was a Top 10 rated contender when AJ faced him. Chisora was viewed as shot and fight as a joke. Wallin was viewed as a banana skin for AJ and some poeple like Bob Arum even said he will beat him. You're trying to push the fake narrative after AJ destroyed the guy who by many was viewed as problematic for him.

    Clearly the point went over your head as this is a thread about Usyk.

    EDIT: Didn't Fury get $100m for his last fight? I didn't think AJ got paid more than that, and either way it shouldn't matter. I want the best fighting the best not the richest.

    Who has Wallin actually beaten? Chisora would flatten Wallin bud.

    Wouldas don't exist. For example, Wallin was more competetive with Fury than Chisora ever was, even when he was fresh. Wallin's best win isn't better than Chisora's best win, but going into the Fury fight, Chisora lost 3 out of last 4. Was less regarded than Wallin going into the AJ fight. Know that I think of it, their match up might have been interesting.

    Op you're getting further and further off subject to try and say Joshua 3 isn't a good fight for Usyk. You can only reach so far fella.

    Says the guy who's only argument is "money". If you want to see how Usyk v AJ 3 plays out just rewatch the first or second one. This will work for fights 4, 5, 6 etc too!

    It's actually quite sad that people are happy for fights to occur once per year between the same rotation of three fighters.

    Fair points. But also consider Chisora was more competitive against Usyk than AJ was, it doesn't mean much.

    My comparison between Wallin and Chisora is who they've beaten. Wallin getting lucky with a cut and playing dirty to try and open it in a fight he still lost doesn't cut it.

    I've stated the money is worlds better AND Aj is changing as a fighter and so is Usyk, Fury as well. Almost nobody is the same version of themselves in multiple fights, if you're a big fan of the sport that should be clear. I'm never gonna complain about the top 3 guys rotating fighting each other. That's the definition of the "best fighting the best" which has been the poster slogan for the sport the last few years.

    I’m not over-idolising Usyk.

    But there are literally hundreds of more worthwhile targets in the boxing world for your derision.

    Sure there is, but that's not the point of this topic. It's addressing Usyk doing something that other fighters get trashed for, but somehow getting a pass for it.

    The problem with your logic is that if only the same three fighters fight each other it's impossible for anyone else to ever rank above them.

    You're essentially freezing out the rest of the top ten which is why it's important for the champion to defend mandatories for the titles they hold. Especially as Usyk only fights once a year.

    You haven’t proven any points nor have I on your behalf. You’re just plying another false narrative, this time to disguise an embarrassing withdrawal on your part after being proven absolutely wrong. Sure, let it go…no prob.

    Some people take forums way, way too seriously.
